Very
interesting indeed. What if you were to send the return fuel with a
tee fitting to the main tanks instead of the sump tank (this is what I am
planning to do)? My thinking (??) is this will eliminate warm fuel in the sump
tank (which I want to have so that there will be no valves in the fuel lines
to add work load, no tank switching - feed from both tanks until
dry). Also want to vent the sump tank, looks like I might want to use the
shrader valve idea so that if fuel flow was low (timed flow rate at
about 18 gph with only 1 gal. in tank) and a level sensor. The capped
vent would allow the pump to suck fuel from the mains if needed, wouldn't
it.
